HEY GUYS,
Is it possible to insert a .pdf file into acad 14 drawing?
And then is it possible to convert that pdf file in autocad entities?

Thanks
Juice

I have found the only way to do this is to use Coreldraw to import the PDF file, and "vectorize" it into a DXF file. Then, of course, it can be inputted into ACAD. Another way is to use a raster to vector program CADoverlay, etc, but you still need to convert the PDF to another image format, tif, or jpeg before you can do this.
Good luck.
 
Hi Juice,
If the pdf was created from a vector drawing, you can use Ghostview and Ghostview to convert it into dxf format.
